Walk Or Run To Make Wishes Come True For Hudson Valley Kids

Even as the days become shorter and the weather becomes colder, you can still walk or run for wishes! Don’t miss the 9th Annual Walk & 5K Run for Wishes on Sunday, Nov. 2 at Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park. Taking place in Yorktown Heights, runners or walkers can enjoy a beautiful fall day while helping to grant wishes for children in the Hudson Valley region. Plus, it’s great exercise before the Thanksgiving feast rolls around!

Get One Last Run In Before The Snow Falls

Snow has already covered the ground in many cities across the country, so be sure to make the most of the clear city streets before you have to take your walking and running to the treadmill. The Annual Walk & 5K Run for Wishes could be the perfect opportunity for one last run in the Hudson Valley region. Register today!

Rain or shine, the walk and run will start bright and early with check-in and registration from 8:30-10 am. The walk and run will begin at 10 am. Participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 which will benefit Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley and will help to grant the wishes of children in your community.

Walkers and runners can register as a team, an individual, or they can join an existing team. Awards will be given to both the individual and team who raises the most amount of money.
